Yes, that I can do. but I can't do it the other way around. For example :In anticipation of my getting an airport, I was goiing to put that module, which is in the controlstrip modules folder, but not showing on my controlstrip, into the controlstrip proper. And here I get that module balking. The help menu says to drag it into the controlstrip. but here all good spirits leave me. The module jumps back into the folder. Sometimes I think these modules are somewhere in the controlstrip already, but don't show up. My strip doesn.t show the modules for airport, for TV and Video mirroring, speakable items and a few more. Then I think the controlstrip only holds a certain number and I need to get rid of some before I can put another one in. But these are all Marta's mind flicks. I do use the monitor control panel a lot, especially when I need to enlarge the print where i don't have an enlarge button in the menu bar.
